Of course this will give government a lot of say in the choice of pet, but events in the simian sphere and NYC's aversion to ferrets have pretty well settled that, in principle at least. One assumes we will all be issued Portuguese Water Dogs until the country goes sharia, and then cat people will be in hog heaven. <BR/><BR/>I'd be considering letting a 20-year-old cat go to sleep. That sounds cold-blooded, but just imagine what our masters in human-care planning have in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-41651322615544868832009-02-28T00:29:00.000-05:002009-02-28T00:29:00.000-05:00Hope the kitty is feeling better by now!!

We can tell when one of our cats is feeling poorly, when they climb in the carrier willingly.
